An innovative adult life skills program through the Riverside County Office of Education, provides students with special needs a head start on job-seeking skills. The work training program serves special education students ages 18 through 22 who have received certificates of promotion/completion from their high schools.

While the Riverside County Office of Education has five transition programs, only one life skills class is held on a college campus. It was moved from Lake Elsinore High School to the Menifee Valley Campus of Mt. San Jacinto College in 2001, said instructor Edna O. Reid.
